Book Description

September 1, 2005
Every day at mealtime, millions of American families share a simple ritual: they say grace. Some recite a traditional blessing, some sing a song of thanks, and some just engage in a moment of silence as they reflect on their gratitude for their food, their families, and their many gifts.

Seasons of Thanks is a nondenominational collection of blessings and stories organized by month, so the reader can easily find the right words for a holiday meal or other special occasion. The Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Bob Dylan, Langston Hughes, and Gloria Steinem are among those whose inspirational words can be found here. Both time-honored and contemporary, encompassing the distinctive traditions of nearly every religion and ethnicity in America, this handsomely packaged collection will be a rich source of spiritual nourishment-and a thoughtful gift to give a family member or friend.

Offers blessings from nearly every religion, culture, and part of the world
Includes traditional as well as more contemporary graces
Filled with background information, historical facts, and illuminating stories about holidays and the practice of saying grace
This beautifully packaged collection makes an inspired gift for any occasion

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK, September 30, 2005
This review is from: Seasons of Thanks: Graces and Blessings for Every Home (Hardcover)
What I loved most about Seasons of Thanks is that
it is two books in one! The first time I saw it in a
bookstore, I quickly browsed all of the blessings,
poems and prayers highlighted in bold, colorful text.
Now that I own the book, I can read each chapter
carefully--it is filled with interesting stories and
facts about the significance of every major holiday
and season. This book has taught me to appreciate all
the special little moments in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life!!!, September 30, 2005
By 
This review is from: Seasons of Thanks: Graces and Blessings for Every Home (Hardcover)
Seasons of Thanks is the first book I have found
that truly integrates stories, rituals and blessings
from every culture and faith. As a person with an
interfaith family, it is always a challenge figuring
out what to say before a family dinner or holiday
meal. I loved all of the suggested blessings..even
the one's the author wrote herself. And the book
design will knock your socks off. This is a really
special collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of ways to say Thanks, April 6, 2008
This review is from: Seasons of Thanks: Graces and Blessings for Every Home (Hardcover)
We start our dinner with quotes we have found that we want to share or with a reading from this book. There are blessings from many faiths and countries and they are presented by the season they refer to.
